The Chicago City Council has approved the proposed hotel conversion at 446 E. Ontario. Designed by well-known structural engineer Fazlur Khan from SOM, the Onterie Center (now known as Axis Apartments and Lofts) is a 60-story building which holds 140,000 square feet of office space, 594 apartments, and a 363-space parking garage. The iconic building uses concrete-infilled window panels to create cross-bracing on the exterior.
